Mastiff, a worldwide publisher of videogames and Renegade Kid, developer of innovative interactive software, today announced that the highly anticipated first-person shooter Moon scheduled to release for the Nintendo DS on November 18, 2008, will now be releasing on January 13, 2009.

The companies were unavailable for comment on the reason why the game was being delayed two months.

EDIT: GDN has received word that we will have a quote in the near future on the reason for the delay.

Developed by Renegade Kid, Moon is a sci-fi, action-adventure title for Nintendo DS. Moon places gamers on the cold lunar surface in the year 2058.  Researchers are shocked to find a sealed, alien hatch during construction of a new lunar base, but it’s a shock that soon pales in comparison to what they find beyond the hatch.

 "With each passing day  I see Moon grow into a darker, more heart pounding beast," said Bill Swartz, Head Woof of Mastiff.  "Gamers are in for an intense experience unlike anything they’ve ever experienced on the DS."
